GERRO = YELLOW

GreenEDGE you absolute legends. 

What an amazing result to take our (all Aussies can claim this one of course, just like we do NZ born Russell Crowe) second stage in two days. Add the Yellow Jersey* to the equation on the back of Simon Gerrans and you’ve got me jumping up and down at 2am with only a sleeping puppy to share it with. Wild times.

I had a quick search through my records and found a snapshot that has instantly jumped to the front of the photo album.

It was taken at the Hanover ConnectEast Ride for Home last year. The conditions on that day were some of the worst I’ve ever ridden in but when the sun came out at the end of the ride I spotted the deity himself, saddling up next to Mr Gerrans himself for a happy-snappy.

No matter that my expression seized in time is one of mild-constipation in stark contrast to Gerro's pristine pearly white smile. 
It wasn’t the make up of my bowels concerning me at the time, oh no, what was racing through my head was whether or not I’d be able to steal Gerro’s bike and ride away fast enough to not be caught with my newly acquired souvenir…suffice to say I don’t have an official GreenEDGE Scott Foil proudly displayed on my living room wall. I’m happy to report that this is not because I couldn’t ride fast enough but because morals won out on the day.

So this is another great memory via yet another less-than-great pic (see post #1 ‘Trè obvious). Maybe I should stay away from cameras for a while.

If you haven’t seen the amazing ride that put Gerrans and GreenEDGE front and centre on the world stage then have a watch of 'Stage 4 TTT':

GreenEDGE Backstage Pass

*The Yellow Jersey is worn by the leader of the race. A massive achievement for GreenEDGE who have openly stated they're targeting stage wins this year above anything else. 

Stay tuned for regular update, videos and general bike related chat.
